It's been 10 months since my last entry - mostly because I forgot we had this blog. We've had lots of funny kids stories since then. Thankfully I'm writing them in my little journal. It's almost full so I'll have to turn digital pretty quickly.
Today we made laundry detergent. How funny is that?! I'm such a homeschool mom. I have a 5 gallon bucket of laundry soap that is to be diluted by half. For my fancy front loader washing machine I need a quarter cup of this diluted detergent per load. This detergent might last us a year! I've had other detergents cause rashes on our skin so I'll be curious to see if this one will work. ;-)
Besides making laundry detergent this weekend we also cleaned out the garage. We worked hard at cleaning out all the mouse poop. Yes, my fault. I left out some birdseed and the mice found it. We've found 3 mice so far. We found their hiding spot. We stuffed it with peppermint-scented cotton balls and we put glue traps out. So far so good.
Last week we spent time at a pumpkin patch, an apple orchard and the science museum. Quite a busy week! I think we'll stay home this week - no field trips. We need to clean the house since we'll have some house guests next weekend.
This blog will be useful as we travel this winter. I'll keep you posted. (I think. ;-))
